Cheesy Fondue

Originally from Switzerland, the fondue started as a tasty way to use up leftover cheese. Today as well, there's nothing like a warm cheesy fondue to bring together friends and family on a cold winter night. Take a look at this tantalizing recipe created by Chef Michael P. Clive.

Ingredients

1 bottle Rickard's Oakhouse

2 ½ cups, smoked gouda, shredded

1 cup gruyere, shredded

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

A few drops of Worcestershire sauce

For Serving

1 ½ pounds cubed or thick sliced and browned sausage

1 head cauliflower, separated into florets, blanched

1 Red pepper, grilled, sliced

1 small jar mini Gherkin pickles, drained

1 baguette, pumpernickel or sour dough loaf, cubed

Instructions

Combine cheeses in a bowl with flour. Add Rickard's Oakhouse beer to a small pot and bring to a bubble over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add cheese in handfuls. Stir constantly, melting the cheese in batches. Stir in a figure-eight pattern with a wooden spoon. When the cheese has been incorporated fully, stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Transfer fondue to warm fondue pot.
